Name- Jian Wei Lim Age- 20 Where are you from?- King's Lynn, Norfolk. Your equipment- Range of old film cameras, mainly an Olympus XA and a broken Canon AE-1. Influences and photographers you like- I am influenced a lot by novels I read, particularly Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. In terms of photographers, Sophie Calle's use of photographs and text to put forth a narrative are a big influence, as well as people such as Ed Templeton and Wolfgang Tillmans.A little about you- I'm a fine art student at Central Saint Martins and have been taking photographs for a couple of years now. I like to capture the things that go unnoticed, intimate scenes that tell a story. I also co-curate a fanzine that showcases emerging photographers alongside young poets.Flickr pagepollyputthekettleonzine.blogspot.com/absencespeakslouderthanwords.blogspot.com/
